Suns owner Robert Sarver admitted he could break up the team in the offseason during the Cavs/Suns game. There's speculation the Suns could use an early termination clause to release Steve Nash this summer and save $7 million on his '09-'10 wage. Nash would have to play for the $5.9 million mid-level exception.

Do you think its possible BC signs Nash?

Rumour has it Nash wants to play with D'Antoni in NY anyways. I don't see Colangelo pursuing Nash anytime soon.

I assume if we did this we'd roll out Nash, Marion, Bosh, Bargnani, our lottery pick, and what we can get for Jose, and go for a "win now" move. Fuck me.

Not that we couldn't be solid, but without D'Antoni, an older Nash, and no Suns role players like Bell, Diaw, Thomas, etc., I'm not convinced.

I think this year has shown us that having a league worst defensive PG/league softest frontcourt is a BAD combination. It leads to constant penetration and because the frontcourt is soft, constant help, and no d.

Sarver may be willing to revamp the team in the off-season (as he was prior to the trade deadline), but that doesn't mean Nash is moving anywhere. The whole Suns organization loves Nash and I don't think they're in a hurry to let him go, although financially it would make sense to not pick up his option and re-sign him at a lower salary. And Nash, of course, has said he's open to Pheonix, New York, and Toronto.

If he does get released, I really hope we don't sign him, unless there are a LOT of changes elsewhere on the roster to make him fit better.

knowing BC he will prob try, just get your dad to build a team and Mikey D to coach it BC, thats the answer!! You cant replicate something you for the most part only had a small hand in making.... but ppl seem to let him live off it.

Well, he did say that he'd like to end his career here, right? So I guess it depends on how long of a contract we were offering, and whether it had a no-trade clause to his liking. Not to mention demonstrating that we are committed to improving our team. Somehow I don't think that money is the most important factor to him.
